Liz Cleere and Jamie Furlong met under a palm tree in Antigua’s English Harbour on Christmas Day 2003. Within a year, they quit the daily grind and bought SY Esper, a 15-year-old Oyster 435. They learned to handle their dream boat in the Aegean, before sailing through the Red Sea to India at the height of Somali piracy. A knockdown off the Maldives later forced them to switch course and take an early monsoon ride to Malaysia. Their work has appeared in Yachting Monthly, Sailing Today and Wanderlust.
